A film of it's times. 60s, bleek monochrome, restless youth, tryst with Marxism-Leninism, alienation, existentialist, jump-cuts, deliberate incoherence- almost everything that one comes to associate with the turbulent 60s and the fertile ground for experimentation. I have been exploring Soutter off late, and am tempted to put him ahead of his peers, namely Tanner and Goretta.
